and that is really sad because it wastes for 99.9% of users performance 
and hence i override the builds of perormance relevant software since 
years with optimized falgs while hat -fstack-protector-all in use long 
before Fedora supported and switched to -fstack-protector-strong

in other words: you get the small performance impact of hardening back 
by better utilize your existing hardware instead castrate your whole 
software to nostalgic decades

come on and install a recent Fedora on such old machines, guess what 
SSE3 or not is your smallest problem
